Hello,

I am trying to dynamically load a shared object using core.runtime.Runtime.loadLibrary. The link fails with a undefined reference to `rt_loadLibrary' error. Indeed when I `nm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libphobos2.a` I don't see it there. Is an extra lib needed?

dub -v output:

OK after more googling I found that adding `dflags "-defaultlib=phobos2` to my dub.sdl file solves this problem.
